La Place Media announces the launch of its audience offer in partnership with nugg.ad

Paris/London: 03.06.2013: La Place Media is launching its qualified audience targeting offer and has chosen to put its trust in the skills of nugg.ad, Europe’s leading provider of digital target group marketing and brand engagement measurement, with 1.1 billion unique profiles and the highest standard of certification for data protection (European Privacy Seal), to identify the target audience for all the media owners making up its offer, totalling 120 brand sites.

La Place Media's RTB platform will rely on nugg.ad’s Programmatic Premium Solution to provide an audience layer.
